Snippets

· We had a lovely afternoon at Riverdale Farm today with petite gourmand and lulu. What a great place. Will do a post on it soon for MBT.

· Cakes is really asserting her independence lately. Her latest trick is to prevent me from holding her hand when we’re outside. Her tactic is to break away and hold her own hand as she struts along. Pretty brilliant actually, don’t you think?

· I think Cakes has OCD: she can’t go by a gate without closing it; she berates McHotty for not putting his shoes away; she gets mad if you leave the screen door open. I’m not complaining.

· What is it about toddlers and crackers? Whenever Cakes catches sight of a cracker she has a fucking fit until she gets one. And god forbid you find yourself at the park with only three crackers left and six vultures circling!

· Anyone else have way too many email addresses? I have six now. Stupid.

· Is anyone else facebooking a little too much?

· I can see the Luminato lights from my bed (it’s nice having something to look at when I can’t sleep). The last couple of nights the CN tower is changing colour and blinking. Is this a permanent thing or part of Luminato? It’s pretty cool actually.

Not too sure on the OCD thing... if your house is somewhat structured (for example, I suspect you are, or at least were, vigilant about closing gates) then a toddler will pick up on that. As they figure out the world, they use routines to give them structure.

(Or maybe my kid is the same way with gates and doors and shoes, and I don't want to admit she has OCD. One of the two.) :)

I think she might just be entering the bossy stage that Pumpkinpie is in. I'm getting ordered and harped at and bossed all over the place these days! So going to write about that soon. As soon as I stop getting annoyed by it and can find it amusing...
